Excited, Hannia nodded eagerly and rushed to join her,
Hugh, who came to escort them, paused for a moment when he saw the girl from yesterday next to Cherise. “Looks like Morris is going to be upset again!”
For the first few moments in the car, they were quiet, Cherise turned her face to look out the window, and after a few minutes, she turned her attention back to Hannia. “If you have something to say, please go ahead”
Hannia started. “My family wants to force me to marry a man I’ve never even met I refuse to do it, which it why I’ve been so hesitant to go home.

As Hannia finished speaking, Hugh exploded in anger. “Monsters! I rarely hear about the Hawkins family, thinking that nobility means integrity. Little did I know how dark and hypocritical they really are.

She found out that Rita was also linked to them. Although Cherise had only met Rita briefly at Gavino’s birthday party, she remembered the unique scent that lingered around Rita.
Rita and Camellia smelled the same.
Cherise suddenly realized that Hannia’s betrothal was arranged with the Graves family, and she guessed it was the same Graves family she knew.
